(On my unit exam) List the points of the triangle if it were dilated by a scale of 2 smaller (I’m pretty sure that you are supposed to divide each coordinate by 2 and I already put a answer but id like to check if I’m right before submitting:) (no files pls im not able to download them)

answer: the value of b is 24 + 3t / (4- t ) = b

solution:

step 1 : find the slope using the formula below with the c (t, 3) and d(4, -3)

m = y2-y1 / x2 - x1

m = -3 -3 / 4-t

m = -6/4-t

to find the value of   b use the equation given in the question

note : use any of the pair given c or d in the equation to find the value of b i will be using d ( 4, -3)

y = mx+ b

3 = (-6/4-t)(4) + b don't forget to take the lcm

b = (36 - 3 t ) / ( 4 - t )
